When the game is laggy and unresponsive, timed activities are particularly frustrating...

 

Friday: I also had a laggy response to clicks. Yesterday, I switched from Find 10 to 90 seconds. Should have been easy as I knew well where the objects were, but I had to click several times on most items before they registered. My final score was about 30 points less than what I get for Find 10. I plan to stay with Find 10 from now on. I play on Chrome and regularly clear browser/download/cache and check for updates, so I don't think the issue is on my side.

Tuesday: I completed the event over the weekend and got the CR which was my goal. I continued until today almost starting from scratch as I used up almost all my crops and soot to mill for the CR. I played 58 games and got prizes through lvl 61. The only reason I attempted the event was due to Wisdom Tree sharing the images with items identified. Even with that help, the game lagged and as others commented many items were packed so closely together, that I had to click around an item several times for it to be registered. I'm not going to stress about it as I achieved my goal, but I also am likely to skip future events like this.

 

I played 55 mini-games straight this morning and had no problems at all. The Edelweiss scene was harder to so because 10 it was new 2) items are SO tiny that clicking was hard to achieve on many items. And them DDoS attacks started again! I'm happy that I got passed the cloudrow, it's really the only thing I wanted. I'm a bit sad for the players that wanted to go for the Super Turbo Tree and its XXL upgrade tho...

I'm not a fan of this particular mini-game in Farmerama, it is so time consuming! 55 mini-games means that I played for 1h 22h 30s + pauses between them, so well over an hour and a half of game play! I'm pretty sure I'll be dreaming of those 3 scenes tonight! I understand that the cloudrow is a great one and that BP wants us to work for it. What I don't like is that prizes on the number of mini-games played are given every 3 games and the prizes from the point meter are spaced by 145 points when the maximum we can get for a perfect "find 60 items in less than 90s" is 135 starting at level 64 and it goes up to 155 and so on!

 

This is always a favorite for me, as I love hidden object type games. I had skipped the last couple of these because of the time involved, so this time I went with find 10 and it was much more fun. So I appreciate making the prizes for simply completing games more inviting, even though the prizes on the right side were excellent as well. I do enjoy that until we get to a high level on the right, at least one prize can be won with each game completed - that is motivating. The graphics, as always, are superb, although I will second the statement that on the newest scenes, things are much smaller. Still, well done and enjoyed!

 

Thank you for extending this event. I wish the weekend event had been extended too.

 

I found the timed activities very annoying and not at all fun, but on a positive note, the extension is welcomed!....Thanks

 

I also am not a fan of this type mini game. The rooms are way to cluttered, and some of the items are sooo tiny you can't find them with out the magnifying glass! Also the points side is way to difficult to ever reach any of the most desired prizes. I have put this on my list of events to skip in the future! I am glad there is an extension for all those playing to reach their goals!

 

I really enjoy this mini game. I will admit that it takes me a while to be able to find things, but I really appreciate the cheat sheets. It was nice to have the Edelweiss Market. I also appreciated having the extension.

 

I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to ever finish the right (points) side of these games. Even if you were able to get perfect scores I'm not sure the math tracks. That being said, I finished the left side in spite of the lag and game outages.

 

I really like the mini-game but there are so many to do that in the end I lose interest and just want to get it done. I did finish the 95 games (and a few more) but there was no way I was going to get through the points side - even if I wanted to use all my resources to do so and make the effort!

It's a shame cos the concept is good, three ways to play and get points but so many to get the best prizes. Time consuming and tedious.
The prizes weren't bad, not fantastic, but not bad.

I know that when this event comes round again, I will forget all this and do it again just because I like the mini-game but I do wish the points side wasn't so difficult to achieve.
